North by Northwest:
'IMDb' - A hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive.
This film did not really appeal to me (but it is 53 years old) but the devises that were used to try and create tension with out any sort of special effects were quite remarkable. One of these devices is a MacGuffin is a device in the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the character is willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to pursue, often with little or no real explanation as to why it is considered so desirable.
